Dawn of empire is set on the continent Pangueon which is ruled by the dynasty Shina. Because of corruption Shina is divided into three factions which start a war for power. The game is played like many real-time strategy games of its time: The player collects the three resources gold, food and wood which are used to construct buildings. These are used in turn to build units or to defend the own base. The ultimate goal is mostly to rush the enemy, in some missions the player has to defend his base for a set amount of time.
Every faction has heroes with unique abilities. Units gain experience points when defeating enemies and a level up results in more attack power. Some maps feature an additional underground map which can be explored. There are three campaigns with six missions each.
